Spurgate, Brentwood

Positioned in one of Shenfield’s most desirable pockets, on the edge of Hutton Mount in Spurgate, this four-bedroom detached family home offers something truly rare — space, privacy, woodland views and a setting that feels like countryside living, yet moments from everything a modern family needs. Guide Price: £850,000.

From the moment you arrive, the home makes a statement. A generous driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by an attached garage, while the detached positioning gives an immediate sense of independence and space — something buyers in this location truly value.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a spacious entrance hall that naturally separates the living areas, creating a balanced and thoughtful layout. Tucked neatly under the stairs is a cloakroom — practical for busy family life and visiting guests alike.

Upstairs – Designed for Family Comfort

The first floor offers four bedrooms, perfectly configured for growing families:

• Three generous double bedrooms

• A fourth single bedroom — ideal as a nursery or home office

• Fitted wardrobes to two of the bedrooms

• An ensuite shower room to the main bedroom

• A well-appointed family bathroom

It’s a layout that allows everyone their own space, while keeping the family connected.

Downstairs – Where the Home Truly Comes Alive

The ground floor is where this home elevates itself.

At its heart is a beautiful kitchen diner, finished with sleek contemporary cabinetry, quartz worktops, a breakfast bar for everyday gathering, a Quooker tap and integrated Neff appliances — a space built for family breakfasts, entertaining friends and long Sunday lunches.

The lounge is generous, warm and wonderfully inviting. Patio doors open onto a raised decked terrace, immediately drawing your eye to the expansive garden and beyond to the mature trees of Thriftwood. It’s a view that genuinely stops you in your tracks.

Leading from the lounge is a second reception room — incredibly versatile as a playroom, snug, formal dining room or even a music room — which also enjoys patio doors opening onto the same raised deck. The flow between inside and outside is seamless.

Standing at those doors, looking out across the lawn and into the tall trees beyond, feels almost alpine. In summer, with the greenery in full leaf, it resembles something you’d expect overlooking the forests of Austria — peaceful, private and utterly calming.

At the bottom of the garden sits a charming wooden cabin — perfect as a summer house, creative studio, teen den or quiet retreat. The garden itself is substantial, lawned and ideal for children to play freely while adults entertain above on the terrace.
